Abstract
We discuss the situation in which idler beams from two parametric down-converter crystals are allowed to interfere. We show that, when two mutually coherent signal beams derived from a common laser are injected into the down-converters, the two idler beams can become mutually coherent also. Moreover, the resulting interference pattern can, in principle, have 100% visibility when the number of injected photons per unit down-converter bandwidth is large. This is just the condition for stimulated down-conversion to dominate over spontaneous down-conversion. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
